Recap
On Svalbard, time seems to stand still. Being situated on the periphery of the world map isolates the island from the rest of the fast-paced world. When the polar night arrives, day and night merge into one. Meanwhile, time is running out. Climate change is transforming Svalbard at furious speed, where snow has been replaced by rain, and the thawing permafrost literally rips the town's foundations away. Surrounded by processes beyond their control, the locals must rethink the world they once knew.
